Brand New I packed my bags and bought a ticket for the seven-thirty train You used to be my sunshine, but now you bring me rain I’m just looking for a way to escape this pain Maybe leaving is the only way I will remain sane I hate to say goodbye to you, so I’m leaving you this note All the things I’ve wanted to say are in the letter that I wrote I left all of my things; all I need are my hat and my coat My only sign of weakness now is this lump in my throat I’m ready to give up the only life that I have known To start a new one all over out on my own I’m packing up and leaving all the seeds that I have sown Giving up my course to land wherever I am blown It’s taken too long for me to figure out the truth I’ve spent the last few years of my life living it for you Now it’s time for me to do what I want to do I’m starting my life over now brand new top – discuss – poetry
